So I know I'm still in college and I'm saving up for a car at the moment but I think my parents are tired of me living with them. So what's the first step to getting an apartment or should I look to own a condon

@Shadowstep: true but with an apt you could get roommates to split, or sometimes could get lucky and get a cheap one and also it goes back to the point that not every college lets you stay over the summer. if her college does then yes that would be a great option, but if it doesn't What's she going to do just switch her college. Plus she could only live there as long as she is in school. Maybe she is looking to something more long term.
@Cutiepie1092: the problem is, it's not JUST renting an apartment. You have to think about food, electricity, water, car bill, insurance bill, wifi, college payments, and other things so you NEED a roommate that is trustworthy enough to actually help pay
@Shadowstep: I completly agree I never said getting an apt was simple or easy. My only point was that staying at a dorm may not be an option because every collage has different rules for that kind of thing. Also she would probably still have to worry about food either way. And depending on were she lives she may be able to find an apt that includes utilities. Or some. Where I live I don't pay for water but I do pay for electricity. Either way she has to do her research and it is going to be a lot of hard work.
